Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSAT), a next-generation telecommunications infrastructure and technology provider, today announced that the United States Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") issued an order granting Globalstar nationwide authority to operate its previously announced third-generation C-3 MSS System. This authorization is the result of the continued cooperation between Globalstar and the FCC that now spans more than three decades. With this authorization, Globalstar’s C-3 satellites will be able to communicate with hundreds of millions of mobile earth terminals located in the United States, including direct-to-device ("D2D") connectivity to smartphones. This authorization also permits Globalstar’s ground station antennas located in Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico to communicate with its C-3 satellites.
